I NEED TO REPLACE A HOSE TUBE ASASEMBLY. THE LINES ARE METAL, WHICH HAS RUSTED, WITH RUBBER HOSE ENDS. ANTI FREEZE IS LEAKING THROUGH A PIN HOLE IN THE METAL LINE. IS THIS A DIFFICULT TAKS? WHAT WOULD THE LABOR CHARGE BE FROM A MECHANIC? HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE TO DO?

This is a fairly easy task, but it can take a while to refill and get the air out of the cooling system. The rusted tube can put up a fight coming out as well. If everything goes well enough 1 hour will be enough time to get it finished, but both problems I mentioned can hold things up.
